   I understand your sentiment,and I doubt I could make the time to do this kind of exploration myself....but, and I don't think this is why they do it- I can imagine this skill could be quite valuable when someone had some data they abs

   I would be more inclined to fund a vaccination program if possible.

   It makes me happy to see this article here. I have always been impressed with the way Ram Dass has traveled through life.

   Can you explain your situation a bit more? Does your job description entail giving advice, or is that something that just arises?

   I have been reading HN for 8 years now. It is currently my number one source for news. I have learned many things, and I believe it is helping to prepare me for my next big adventure.

   Fun questions. I have often considered that there could be life forms coexisting in our space that are completely undetectable to us at our current level of technology. They would not even have to be made of dark matter.

   Yes, I would call bullshit on that one too.

   I picked up my BCE at 36. Of course now that I am 58, even 44 is getting to the outer edge for those who would discriminate.

   Ask HN: Just received a data breach scam attack, is anyone researching these?

    I grew up rather privileged,but I share a lot of the same sentiments, having paid a lot of attention to my father who was raised on a farm. I love knowing about farms/nature and still hope to continue learning more.

    I heard about Sugru when it first came out. I bought a few 6 packs and gave some to my engineer friends. I think I was the only one who got pretty exited about the possibilities. Since then, I have lost several packets to age, and learned

    I always read carefully when I see this authors byline. If he did not quite often tell uncomfortable truths, he would probably be much more well known. As it is, he does not make the mainstream media very often.

    I am torn by stories like this. I share my house with 6 indoor only cats, but when i had cats that were inside/outside, they definitely did their fair share of hunting. On the other hand, I do worry about threatened species, and on to

    I love to hear about people like this. I have been wanting to set up a research lab for years. My only fear is that my abilities might be faded by the time I have the ability to spend all my time in the lab. No matter what though, we truly

    I second this. I work in a rather large company, and believe me, there are "opportunities" everywhere. The trouble is there is usually such a level of bureaucracy, that it takes real effort to push a change.

    I am not holding my breather either, but there are some pretty big companies getting behind reducing the stigma.

    I got lucky and saw the Zinus thread last year, I was close to spending over a thousand when I heard about them. I spent 400 for a king mattress and a stand. My Wife loves it!

    My guess is that they searched all cell phone data on local towers for location data. Then once they had a small enough pool of potentials they searched using humint

    I think this actually calls for a whole series of tests. Feel free to do a "show HN" with your test plan.

    That's funny. I am 58 and pretty much felt the same way all my life. Then a year or so ago when I finally got serious about losing the weight that snuck onto my frame from 45 on, I started a low-no carb diet. Suddenly Avacados became

    I really love the title of this essay. The essay itself and the comments are also delightful. I am going to start using this at my job (where I write embedded code for medical devices). This fact gets so much more apparent when code gets pu

    One of the better study guides I found was Charlie Munger's book : "Poor Charlies Almanac" One of the things i also found very enlightening was that people often believe people who talk very fast, even after they have been wr
